Starting A New Business - baby blunders

Business and busyness ... that the trick in getting a small business going.

I have been slogging, trying to get people to know about scratchcard.co.za and a few other marketing tools of Natural Gravity.

I think one always starts with great ideas and the willingness to get up and try and try again everyday, right at the beginning. People always say the 1st couple of months of getting a business going is always the toughest. But why?

- Motivation
- Deciding what comes first?
- Motivation
- Push down and climb back up
- Keep going
- Do whatever it takes!

It's so easy to follow the obvious advice given by so many entrepreneurs... or is it?

I have learned so much about a new start business in the last few months. More than that, I have been teaching myself a new way to think!

Getting your head around it all...

From the pre-planning to implementation and finally to making some money is a process. One that takes will, risk and confidence every step of the way. I have been learning so much about myself and how I react to people, how I interpret different situations and also how different my way of doing things are to others. Starting a new business takes a different mind space. It is not only about having a great product. This is fundamental knowledge in the process. Don't I get it...yet :)?

I read a book by Scott Cundall about 'what not to do in business', very clever and probably very true... but does explain some Very hard hitting facts. Like the number of businesses that are successful first time round. At this early stage is that really what I want to be hearing? No! Anyway, great points Scott but save it till I make it huge and am not in the 60%mark that fail!

Baby Blunders are part of the learning and growing process. No baby learns to walk, without falling or flopping to the ground once in it's first walking steps.

I am officially shouting out to the world and also giving myself a good pat on the back and allowing myself this baby blunder. Starting this business was never going to be easy and I will just get back up on it once again.

Have a great weekend.

To all those who are celebrating Pesach, Hag Pesach Sameach!
